Official game day thread- Duke vs AZ sweet 16

[bleediteveryday30]

I'm as stressed as I have been for a game since the 2022 Final Four game.

 

[pisgah101]

Let’s take care of Arizona. My thought process is that Bama can’t possibly hit 18 plus threes again on Sunday. My only knock on them is that they do give up points defensively.

I bet you they hit 0 3’s on Sunday

 

[sheyduke]

I have you beat, I have to be up at 5 to get the kids ready for school before I start work at 7.

Got both yall beat . I’m in Georgia with a six hour drive home to North Carolina . I leave at 4:30.
Barkley picked Arizona to win .

 

[Jjallen]

here we go. Rebound rebound rebound

 

[dukeblue77]

Actually Bama made 25 3’s! Let’s do this Duke.

 

[dukeblue77]

Well, there shots are falling.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Not a great start at all on defense. Playing their game.

 

[youngman42]

Gotta play more disciplined perimeter D.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Settle down

 

[Jjallen]

sometimes I think we play so hard on d that rebounds are difficult. We need to cause some turnovers

 

[ioliva]

We’re up one and I’m absolutely excited. They’ve made tough shots but our defense is stifling them. Keep it up boys

 

[ioliva]

Lol at the second fouls on maluach and ngongba

 

[Jjallen]

Evans holding up on d so far

 

[Jjallen]

Cassell originally signaled block

 

[ioliva]

What did they call?

 

[pisgah101]

Making up calls now I see

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Looks like we will need Maliq.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Stage looks a bit too big for Pat. If Brown is really ready to go, he’s got to play because our bigs are in early foul trouble.

 

[dukeblue77]

Please grab the board. C’mon boys.

 

[Jjallen]

Got to get coop back in to rebound

 

[dukeblue77]

Need Cooper to be that man.

 

[springsportster]

Maliq is in

 

[dukeblue77]

Boards, boards, boards. Let’s go.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

This is going to be a battle to the end.

 

[ioliva]

Lol az getting touch fouls to catch up

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Fouls are killing us

 

[denverexpat]

We need to settle into a better defense...too many open shots and rebounds. Hopefully this is just a feeling out stage.

Lee Cassell showing his Duke hatred.

 

[dukeblue77]

I would love to go in the half up 5-7. Arizona is hitting 3’s.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Lee Cassell showing his Duke hatred.

Yeah- the minute I saw he was on the crew I knew that immediately works against Duke.

 

[sheyduke]

Not being a downer but this type of game does not play into Dukes favor. Not the type of game I thought we would see .

 

[ioliva]

How is az shooting so many free throws when were the ones pounding it inside ?

 

[bleediteveryday30]

They're getting all the calls on these drives.

 

[dukeblue77]

Grab the boards!!!!!!!

 

[Jjallen]

How is that not over the back

 

[JimboSlice00]

Our freshman bigs are getting absolutely bullied. Not good

 

[pisgah101]

That was over the back

 

[bleediteveryday30]

They're hitting 3s, getting all the 50/50 balls, and all the calls.

 

[Hofman19]

Mal planning on doing something tonight other than fouling people?

 

[ioliva]

They're getting all the calls on these drives.

Replay showed dude riding Flagg. Absolutely ridiculous. Just call it both ways. We’re at a 9-3 ft differential and we’re going inside more than they are
